Re: James Dyson carries the tired vacuum industry and just in time for Christmas...

Thanks, but I did not see it (a conical separator). It looks like this Target-Electrolux is it, this is their first conical separator vacuum.
DIB It's actually inside the assembly that holds the clear bin in place. It's located right above the shroud, lying horizontally, pointing left towards the dust tube. It's a rather stubby, short length tapered cyclonic apparatus.

Was a single cyclone separator used in this prior vacuum?
DIB Yep, no multi-cyclonic tech was used in the old Eureka. It was almost the same layout as well, with the large debris container/shroud separated from the fine dust collection compartment.

The vacuum manufacturers are jumping on the Dyson free-ride big time this year. I just visited my local Target and it looks like their Bissell's and Hoover's are almost fully converted to single and multi-cyclonics. And lookie, lookie... the mighty Electrolux (upright, heavy as a tank) has almost caught up with the Fantom vacuum (Dyson dual cyclone technologies). - Good for them.

Re: The all new Dyson DC26 "Japan"

Sorry, but $800 is waaaay to expensive for this machine. Even if it had DDM, I don't think a price above $550 would be reasonable, by Dyson standards anyway: however, without the DDM, $400 should be the price it is sold for. Think about it, the DC26 is a DC31 with wheels and a hose, sans the DDM. It should be priced comparably with the DC24. If this machine does cross the pond with an $800 price tag, then why not jack up the MSRP of the DC24 to $700 (of course, I don't see this happening). An $800 MSRP for the DC26 is too freaking much.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Dyson needs to pull an Apple, and open up concept stores for their products. I believe consumers buying expensive higher-end goods demand an equally high-end buying experience as well, with product experts abound, product demonstrations, and an appealing sales floor environment that draws in the curious (that's why I go to the Apple store to buy my Mac stuff rather than Best-Buy or the late CompUSA).

I suspect the price will come down after a year. When the DC23 was launched, it was sold for $749. Now the MSRP is $599. I suspect after a year, the DC22 will be closer to the $600 range. AAAvacs.com is selling the DC22 Turbinehead/Motorhead for $499/$599, respectively.
I have been using a DC22 for a week now, and it really seems to eliminate any dust bypass , even though a little bit of sands gets through. Very little dust bypasses the core separator, which tells me it's doing almost all of the particle separating.
